On July 3, 1942 he married Marcella Coppers who preceded him in death after 66 years of marriage. After service in the United States Army Corps of Engineers in World War II, he returned to Sedalia and began a career as an electrical contractor and President of Queen City Electric Company from which he retired in 2000. Prominent in civic activities, Mr. Hurley also served many years as trustee of Sacred Heart Parish of which he was a lifelong member.

In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by his sister, Anne Hurley Cooney, and his brother, Edward J. Hurley.

Also surviving are nieces Carol Cooney Fischer and Colleen Cooney Geihm and many loving cousins.

The family suggests memorial contributions to Sacred Heart Church in care of McLaughlin Funeral Chapel.
His life was gentle, and the elements
so mixed in him that Nature might stand up
and say to all the world: “This was a Man!”
